[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chellout:
To start with: Odin stuck's at flashing.

Details:

Model: Samsung Galaxy S 2 I9100Т, almost 2 years have past since it was purchased.

History of ROMs used: Almost after the purchase it was flashed with the latest nightly Cyanogenmod 9+ something that is 4.0.1 Android.

But the ROM was for normal SGSII, not T, although it worked good for something about a year. It was flashed with stable Cyanogen 9.1, also not for the T. With that ROM it worked another 7-8 months and suddenly got a problem with "Apps not responding at all". So, first it was factory reseted via CWM recovery, and after that, i was asked to get a new OS for it. So i flashed nightly Cyanogen 10.1xx. All ROMs, that were used with this device, were downloaded from the Cyanogenmod "official site".

Case History: After a month of doing well with 10.1 nightly, during a downloading or even installation process of a casual, but a 3D game, with a size of 20+ megaz, it suddenly got stuck and stoped responding to any input. It was rebooted by taking out the battery, w8ng for a few mins, and putting it back. After that it started to get stuck, right on the loading screen, repeatedly. I tried wiping cache via recovery: it was "doing something" for 5 mins and then saying: "Kernal Panic". Then i tried factory reset option, and the result was the same. Also, installing a new ROM via install zip recovery feature, that ended with the same message, also after a long w8ng time.

Not so successful Reanimation history: While trying to flash official service 1 file NEE (Nordic Contries) firmware 4.0.4 with Odin 1.85, it got stuck almost right at the start, while it was trying to flash a "cache" part, the process status bar havent appeared on the device even after 20 minutes of wating time. So i decided that it should be disconnected from the PC for good. That led to a standart soft brick, with a picture: "mobile - ! - PC " and a message, asking to flash something, that actually works with Kies. Download mode is still availible but recovery isn't anymore.

I tried flashing with Odin 1.85 and 3.04, and even 3.07. I tried flashing quite an amount of offcial firmwares: 2.3.3 и 4.0.3 и 4.0.4. и 4.1.2, both 1 file and 3 file versions. All the same: it kept getting stuck almost at the start, with a message or process, depending on a firmware version, but always same for the same ROM, and as i said before the process bar havent appeared on a phone even for a moment during all those attempts.

Notice: The PC, that was used to Odin-flash this device, a month before was able to flash another SGSII and did it perfectly.

Thanks in advance to everyone, who may help me in this "case", and sorry for not so good english.

It sounds to me that you have a hardware failure and there is nothing you can do. If your rom was somehow messed up, then your recovery should have been fine. Try returning it to stock as much as possible and send the device to samsung. Try to atleast reset your download counter.

Yes, remember cm from OP.

You could flash LSJ (google "jelly bean test firmware s2 sammobile") so you can get the odin fail log up on the screen.

Now the bar on the PC is full, nothing appeared on the phone yet. And Odin isnt saying anything after it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Ok.

First off, warranty voided? when the phone boots, what do you see? I9100 or I9100T?

Second, I'd advice you to try it all again, on another PC, laptop if you can, all usb ports, just to be sure.

Third: If everything above fails, let's go with Nand Corruption.

Read this thread very carefully because this is a very nagerous method.

Check with your device's model users if they perfomed this and how it went, I sure don't know any I9100T case (should be the same as I9100 because of the hardware but...you never know).

Feel free to try it out.

EDIT: why try it all again? Because of this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chellout:
First of all i wana say - that something happened i saw the status bar progress on the PC, thou nothing on the phone.

What is says exactly, when i boot it to Odin:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

- seems something or some part of the some of the official ROMs that i tried to flash actually made it to the phone... Not idea which of them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chellout:
Oh UPS a very important update!

After i disconnected it from the ODIN after flashing "siyah v5", it have changed the message of DL mode, now it says this:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

Ehm... what should i do now?

I will try it. But i'm not sure i put it clear. While flashing syiah 5 kernel - The process bar moves only on PC and it stops on very end without saying it was a success or complete and it is stuck there for 10+ mins. And no changes on the phone screen while flashing it. And ye it increases the counter of the binary downloads.

I tried flashing csc and phone separatly and same hing happens also to them.

When i tryied to flash 4.1.2 it again is getting stuck at same point. I'm gona get 4.0.3 now and try it out with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chellout:
Ok...

So maybe that wasn't very wise of me, but i tried to flash a boot loader from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

And it is stuck here. The process bar is only half filled on the PC. But for all the time i spend with this device i saw a downloading bar moving on the device itself, sadly it got frozen at the very start.

CM 10.1 ROM Bugs.

1) The status bar is forced on some apps.

2) You cant scroll past the last letter in a website on the browser address bar, it gets stuck before it. Also noticed that it only happens when the address can't fit in the address bar.

3) The gallery video player occasionally stops responding when watching a video from the browser.

4) Graphical glitches when scrolling through text, the app locker, and sometimes in games.

5) Keyboard has lines that show up on the keys.

6) Keyboard is slow to respond.

7) Triple boot, which is only a dual boot if you boot into recovery and pick reboot.(One boot before recovery, and one boot after recovery).

8) Picking reboot from the shutdown menu causes it to get stuck on the Moto boot logo.

9) If battery is at 10% or lower I can't turn on.

I will keep this up to date. If I'm missing one the leave a message.

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but it's been bugging me for a while:

Say I download a picture in the browser and want to text it to somebody. What I would like to do is swipe down the notification bar, tap the download to view the picture, then send to messages or whatever from there. But Sense doesn't give you the share option. The only thing you can do is "view details."

Even in Reddit News, an app with this kind of built-in -- you can download a pic, then you get a nice preview in the notification pull down, but when you hit "share," it just takes you to the dumb viewer screen that allows nothing but "view details."

Is there a way, or an app, that can replace this default image viewer with something useful?
[HTC Droid DNA] dragonstalker:
when you have the gallery open up and it's showing you the picture. click the middle of the screen. this will bring up the menus. the button on the bottom left is share, where you have about 5 options of how to share depending on bluetooth, nfc, and social apps/cloud services installed.
[HTC Droid DNA] calbruc:
No, I know how to share from the gallery, my point was wanting to share from the notification area without having to open another app to do so.

Ever look at a picture from a file browser? You just get the picture, no options to do anything with it.

Anyways, I installed QuickPic and it manages to do what I was looking for just fine!

I don't know if this has been a problem for anybody else than me, but I had a hard time to get my Galaxy S3 to be recognized by Odin with VirtualBox / Vista on my Mac.

Anyway, a guy in an older thread for another device pointed me in the right direction, and I am now able to get Odin to detect my phone in VB / Vista.

Here are the steps I followed:

- Open up VirtualBox

- Choose Windows and press start

- Put your phone in Download mode and connect it

- Click Settings in VirtualBox

- Click Ports

- Click USB

- Click the green + button on the right side (to add another USB source)

- When it shows up under USB devices then mark it and unmark the other(s). (on my computer it shows as Samsung Gadget serial)

- It might be you now have to reconnect your phone if the driver isn't installing

- When the driver is installed you can open up Odin and it should say detected

Remember to mark the other USB device(s) in the VirtualBox settings the next time you are using it in mtp or ptp mode.

I hope this thread can help some others that are in the same situation as I was.

Of course there is Heimdall, but that is a choice of personal taste.
